Beautiful! That scene in the train almost made me cry, and somehow you managed to make it even sadder. Awesome work :3

One of my FAVOURITE fics on the net, no joke. I love how your story brought this movie moment to life in a unique way, all the while staying true to the characters (and you even added some more of that banter we all love from these two). The movies got across that Watson certainly DOES love Holmes in his own way, and romantic or not, it's one of the most solid relationships in fiction - again, this fic really did it justice.
All those memories running through Watson's head as he tried to resuscitate Holmes - the precious little moments, quirks and habits - were without a doubt what he would have actually been thinking during this scene as he was faced with the prospect of never experiencing these things again. Most touching, I thought, was the realisation that Holmes, narcissistic as he is, never fails to have Watson's favourite drink on hand, or protect him when needed. Oh, the feels! _

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that felt like this scene was the perfect point for Watson to realize he didn't just tolerate Holmes, but rather loved him. Now how to explain that to Mary would be another matter entirely. Very well written!
